Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

Federal debt will reach 100% of GDP this year.

If only there were some way of bringing new workers, consumers, & entrepreneurs into the country to grow the economy and replace retiring boomers who are driving up mandatory spending. Iโ€™d call them โ€œimmigrants.โ€

And when a Dem is in power eryone will sdnly be extremely concerned w/the deficit. Dem will work hard to get this mess straightened out, but not fast enough for anyone. Eventually, Dem will have improved situation immensely, but it wonโ€™t be perfect. Lastly, we will elect Rโ€™s to fuck it all up again.

that was a costly win. ~$190 B paid by consumers that they'll never see again.

funny how one simple impeachment would have saved american taxpayers billions of dollars (and trillions in budget deficit spending.)

but, unfortunately, our republican friends love to burn through money soooooo much.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

โ€œโ€˜I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,โ€™ Pritzker said. โ€˜We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindnessโ€”or one rooted in cruelty and rage.โ€™โ€

Republicans have said theyโ€™d prefer Jasmine Crockett, not James Talarico, be the Dem nominee in Texas

But on the first day of early voting, the Streisand effect of CBS blocking Colbert from airing a Talarico interviewโ€”citing FCC regsโ€”has given the YouTube clip 900,000 views in less than 12 hours.

Met Lil Wayne at a bmw dealership many years ago. I had absolutely no idea who he was so I chatted away, admired his car, loved the yellow leather interior. He showed me his custom stereo system in the boot of that little Porsche. Full to the brim with subwoofer and speakers. He was nice & low-key.
